"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." — Seneca
I'm going to keep this short and sweet. We no longer have enough people to keep this organization running as required by the rule of NFP standard.
We will be dissolving by the end of the month because of this reason. What does this mean? In basic terms, you have to have x amount of people to run a not for profit corporation we no longer have enough people to do that, because feral cats trap neuter return and feeding outdoor cats is not high on anybody's list. Therefore, it will dissolve in name and on paper. The work will continue and the need will still be there.
What does this mean for me?
It means I don't have to answer to the public that chases me through the grocery store, or the people that beat on my door, the emails, the texts, the phone calls, the Christmas TNR needs, so this part will make my cardiologist and my heart happy.
We can still accept food and you can still help out by placing money directly on the vet clinic books if you so choose.
What does this mean for the cats?
Nothing will change for them. I will continue to feed them 7 days a week in three locations and 5 days a week in the fourth location, with Tracy continuing to pick up the other two days at that location.
Aside from life and feeding cats, there's a lot of footwork involved in this process. My hope is to be able to just change the name of this page and keep posting on here. If not, I will direct you to a new page for these cats.
We are going to operate off of an Amazon wish list where people can still send food to support them because they still need food, but we can't run this organization without enough people to do so.
I have given my life to these cats, I am out feeding cats within 10 minutes of being awake every morning 365 days a year for 3 decades.
I have fed cats before attending funerals of my young loved ones. I have fed cats with garbage bags over a long arm cast in the rain. I have fed cats when I thought I was going to drop dead from an endocrine disease.
I have paid people to drive me around to feed cats when I had no use of my arm and for safety reasons couldn't drive. I feed and TNR cats, that's what I do.
The PayPal will be shut down in due time, so to anyone who I haven't contacted yet, if any payments are made after this week, they will be refunded to the sender.
Again, this is a lot of leg work and it's all on me in addition to feeding cats and taking care of sick cats and tending to my own life.
We are grateful to all who have supported this mission for the last 17 years and thousands of cats thank you.
I will be out feeding cats first thing tomorrow morning, and then working on some more paperwork on this. I will update on the status of the page and the Amazon wish list as we progress.
My veterinarian is going to continue to give me the same courtesy discount that we have received over the years, as the number of cats that I have daily contact with won't change.
I guess that wasn't so short, but it wasn't as long as it could have been with my speak text.
I won't be replying to any comments.
